Ah, the Twitter age! That’s right, Mayor Cory Booker is expected to announce that he will run for the Senate in N.J., and not for Governor, as some were guessing.
Cory Booker will not run for Governor against Chris Christie instead will run for Senate in 2014.

Heh. We hope Booker’s tweet is composed better than those!
Booker’s Twitter feed shows a bit of a tease, perhaps?

Reaction and some mocking of the anticipated “historic” tweet comes in swiftly.
I'm sure my fellow Democrats, like @EricBoehlert, are super pissed that Cory Booker admitted he can't beat Chris Christie.

Corey Booker to run for Senate. Will live-tweet entire thing while saving children from burning buildings and only eating off food stamps.

Heh.
Twitchy will, of course, monitor and update with Booker’s tweet. Better make it a good one, Mayor! The Twittersphere won’t cut you any slack.
Update: The big announcement! He will “explore” a run in 2014, after finishing his work as mayor.
A Twitter/YouTube combo.
Thank you for your support up to this point. Read about my upcoming plans here: http://t.co/4eimMQNq #finishingthework
